Fishing Report, 15/4/2011

Hey Guys - have enjoyed a great weeks fishing and hope you have
too. Here goes for this weeks report.

Moruya River

Some very nice flathead measuring 85 cm plus have been caught
and released near the wall around Ryans Creek this week, all on
Shimano Squidgies in assorted colours, but inparticular Silver
Fox.

Good sizes of bream have also been landed near Quarry Wharf,
once again all on Shimano squidgies.

Tuross River

Team Tackle World members Graham and John headed out for a few
sessions this week and were rewarded with some really good catch
and release sessions on bream, flathead and tailor up the back of
the system. Graham's lure of choice - SX40's - John's -
Camions - both ended up even by the end of the session.

Jade and Tom enjoyed a good fish in the Pirtek competition last
weekend, catching and releasing half a dozen flathead ranging from
60-85 cm in length. Well done boys - we'll wait for the
results to come in!!

Beaches and Rocks

Jack Dart from Sunset Fishing Adventures reports that the river
mouth at Tuross is still producing both bream and whiting.
Jack recommends that you target the start of the run-in tide,
fishing the washy areas running into the gutters - as the tide
increases move to the gutters filling with more water. Once
the tide is full, target the sandbars as there will be enough water
over them to hold fish, also throw some bait out just behind the
shore dump. A bit of a tip - stand well back from the shore
so as not to spook the fish!

Salmon and tailor will be caught on pillies and ganged hooks
from sun up or sundown in any good gutters. Rig of the week -
No 2 Instinct Baitkeeper hook on the top of a Paternoster rig using
15-20lb Instinct line and a 1/0 Owner hook on the bottom arm, with
a medium star sinker working at the bottom using fresh beach
worms.

Coila beach is really firing well at the moment with some
beautiful gutters having formed with fisho's making the most of
these conditions with good catches of bream, extra large tailor and
40 cm plus whiting. Nice gutters have also formed around the
Windsock area making for good catches for those extra large tailor
that are around at the moment as well.

Offshore

Capt Ron onboard Winda Woppa reports good catches of Snapper
(over 30 in a session) in 21 metres of water using bait and Gulp
Nuclear Chicken soft plastics. Ron has also enjoyed good
catches of mowies, while there are plenty of large flathead on the
edge of the reef. The water temperature is currently sitting
at 19.8 degrees celcius.

Large flathead are also being brought in between Broulee Island
and back to the Airport as well as chinamen leather jackets on the
drift, however once that wind drops and the drift stops - so do the
flathead!
